2 arrested after fight; gun tossed

EAST COUNTY  Sheriff’s deputies arrested two men following a report of a fight and shots fired Friday night in unincorporated El Cajon.

Authorities received a call at 6:54 p.m. from residents on Rosada Court, near Avenida del Charro, about a fight involving several people, including a man with an ax, sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Sterner said. As deputies arrived, they were told gunshots were heard and a white Cadillac was seen leaving the area.

Deputies located the Cadillac nearby and detained the driver and passenger. A gun that was apparently thrown by the passenger was found about 100 feet from the car, and a shell casing was found in the vehicle, the sergeant said. Another casing and a blood-soaked glove were found on the road between the car and the area where the fight occurred.

One of the men arrested was treated at a hospital for a minor abdominal wound. Sheriff’s Lt. Dave Schaller said it appeared to be a superficial knife wound.

Witnesses helped identify people involved in the fight, who were uncooperative with deputies, Sterner said.
